Hmm, not familiar with either of those. Did a quick search, found these:

https://market.android.com/search?q=SMB+File+Sharing&c=apps

AFAIK, these let you download files to your SD card, but is it possible to them directly from the network drive?

Also, it sounds like AirTwist DLNA lets you stream from your handset to a TV:

http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/2011/02...r-media-streaming-to-its-android-airsync-app/

But can it stream from your computer to your Xoom/handset?
[Xoom General] galtom:
For now Xoom itself does not support DLNA (afaik), also... even if you could stream from your NAS drive you will not be able to watch 99% of downloaded stuff as Xoom only plays very specific format :-(.

Plenty on that subject already.

Sorry for bringing bad news :-(

Hi there

I have magldr 1.1 installed on my hd2 I want to upgrade to the latest version how to upgrade??

Please help i am noob
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Put phone into bootloader mode. Which is the tri color screen.

You can get into it by powering off phone, turning it on whilst holding vol down, and *poof*, the tri color screen appears. Now plug in the phone into the computer and start flashing the phone through the ROMupdateutility.exe, not the daf.exe. It will not erase your android build, dun worry.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] puch77:
thanks for the help:D i wasnt sure how to upgrade it either.followed what you said and it worked perfect.

Thanks a lot !!!!!!!!!
[Xoom General] trackerk:
It isn't easy, but if you have rooted your Xoom then you can get Openvpn running. If you are not familiar or comfortable working in the guts, then don't do this.

> You must have ROOTed your Xoom.

Follow these not so easy steps:

1) From the market, install the Busybox installer.

2) Run the Busybox installer and select /system/xbin for the install location.

3) Install Openvpn Installer

4) Run the installer, specify /system/xbin for the location

5) The installer will say it failed, and it surely has, no worries though, because it left the bit we need on the sdcard

6) From a terminal shell:

su
mount -w -o remount /system
mkdir /system/xbin/bb
ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig
ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin/bb/route
cp /mnt/sdcard/openvpn /system/xbin/
chmod 555 /system/xbin/openvpn
mount -r -o remount /system

5) Open the attached tun.zip file and copy the tun.ko file to your /mnt/sdcard/openvpn directory along with all your other configuration files.

6) From a terminal shell:

su
insmod /mnt/sdcard/openvpn/tun.ko

That is a pain to do every time and I never had any luck getting modules to load automatically. So you can use the Openvpn settings program from the Market which is what I do.

7) Install Openvpn Settings from market

8) Run Openvpn Settings

9) Press menu button and select "Advanced"

10) Select "Load tun kernel module"

11) Select "TUN Module Settings"

Load module using = insmod

Path to tun module = /mnt/sdcard/openvpn/tun.ko

I think that should get you going, but it has been a long day and I may have missed something. There surely must be an easier way to get openvpn installed. But this is what worked for me. If you've done this before then the important bit is the Xoom tun.ko file.

UPDATE: My tun.ko doesn't work with coolbho3000's overclocked kernel. I think it is a difference in the kernel versions koush and he used. Still trying to learn how git works so I can get the exact version of the source coolbho used. I will post another tun.ko when I get it working.

UPDATE 2: Thanks to instructions from coolbho3000 I have recompiled tun.ko with the right version number for his overclocked kernel. The tun.ko for the overclocked kernel is in the file tun-overclock.zip. So use tun.zip if you are running koush's kernel and tun-overclock.zip if you are running coolbho3000's overclocked kernel.

UPDATE 3: Updated this post to reflect that a new busybox installer was released to the market that fixes it's install.
[Xoom General] bogatyr:
thanks for the tun.ko file :D
[Xoom General] firepacket:
Thanks for this post! Quick question though - where do I find the openvpn installer?
[Xoom General] trackerk:
The app market.
[Xoom General] bogatyr:
I've always put the tun.ko module in the /system/lib/modules directory and never had an issue.
[Xoom General] bogatyr:
Also this doesn't seem to work with VPNConnections, the program for IPSEC VPNs. Shame, I was really excited for it too.
[Xoom General] blulite:
Can you post your server .conf file and the .conf file for the Xoom? I'm having router errors that I've not had with other devices.
[Xoom General] Adam B.:
I'm unable to insmod the overclocked tun.ko on the overclocked kernel.

I get the following error:
[Xoom General] trackerk:
Run 'dmesg' after trying insmod and tell me what the last lines are. They will probably be something to do with version magic numbers.
[Xoom General] trackerk:
The VPN is work related, I can't post any of the config. But they are the same config files I use on my Droid and Galaxy Tab. They shouldn't have to change.

Also, until busybox and openvpn installer can be updated, getting this working is kind of a mess. If openvpn can't find 'ifconfig' and 'route', then the VPN connection may get setup, but packets go nowhere. Go back over my instructions and make sure you get this bit in:

ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig

ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin/bb/route
[Xoom General] Adam B.:
[93513.332923] tun: version magic '2.6.36.3-g1615a68 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.36.3-g53275e0 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '

[Xoom General] trackerk:
coolbho released another overclock kernel after I had compiled up tun. I guess he got a different branch of the source which had a different kernel version number. They have to match exactly. I have updated the tun-overclock.zip at the top of the thread to match his. Download and install it again and it should work. I just flashed his kernel and tun.ko to my xoom and made a vpn connection with it.
[Xoom General] neonerz:
Not sure if I'm missing something, but I can't seem to get this working. I'm using cool's OC kernel (second version).

I'm using the same config file that I use on my phone (D1).

As you said, busybox install reported it failed, but it *seemed* to have worked. OpenVPN Installer must of updated their app because I was able to install it without it failing. Worked just like it did on my D1.

Then I try to connect to the VPN, it seems to get past Auth and Get Config, but dies at "Connected to IP_ADDRESS_OF_OPENVPN as" and the notification keeps popping up saying its connected.

Running netcfg from the CLI shows the tun0 interface down, with no IP assigned. It's almost as ifconfig can't assign the address, but it seems like ifconfig and route are properly installed. Any ideas?
[Xoom General] trackerk:
From the command line run:

insmod /path/to/tun.ko

(with whatever path you saved tun.ko to)

to make sure it is being loaded. It probably is since you see it in netcfg. But that is the most common reason for openvpn not working.

If that works, then look to see if openvpn is finding the ifconfig and route commands. The only way I could get it to work with the Openvpn Settings program was to put them in /system/xbin/bb.
[Xoom General] neonerz:
I could of swore there was a built in log with OpenVPN Settings, but I can't find it. How can I find out if its finding ifconfig and route?

I'm pretty sure thats the issue. I know its loading the module correctly, and I know I have ifconfig installed properly because I could do "# ifconfig tun0 5.5.0.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 up" and it will assign the address to the tun0 interface, and I could ping it. For some reason it seems OpenVPN can't use ifconfig.

FYI - i confirmed the following with a file manager

both ifconfig and route are inside /system/xbin/bb (as well as /system/bin/ and /system/xbin for good measure)

OpenVPN binary is inside /system/xbin/

I'm not sure what else I could be missing.
[Xoom General] trackerk:
Just try running openvpn from the command line. Like this:

su
cd /path/to/openvpn_stuff
openvpn my.conf

If it can't find 'route' or 'ifconfig' you'll see it there.
[Xoom General] neonerz:
Yea, something doesn't look right. Take a look

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14573841/log.txt
[Xoom General] trackerk:
Thats your version of openvpn complaining. I don't think the version in the market supports push options like that. My server config doesn't have them so it didn't matter to me. The guy who compiled up tun.ko for the Galaxy Tab also had instructions on getting a different openvpn that supported push. You'll have to look around a bit to find it.
[Xoom General] neonerz:
I'll try http://code.google.com/p/android-openvpn-settings/issues/detail?id=26 when I get out of work. Weird thing is though it works on my phone no problem.

edit// that seems to have done it. I'm now connected and can pass traffic. Now I just need to figure out why "connected" keeps popping up in my notifications.

Anyone coming across this, that is having a similair issue. Here is the part of the log that pointed trackerk to the push issue (just in case I remove the log from my dropbox)

[Xoom General] blulite:
I'm using the "static" openvpn 2.1.1 from github, so all is working. With the exception of DNS redirection. Anyone got that working? I'm setting the default route to my ovpn, and all the traffic is going that way. But I cannot get DNS to redirect.

push "dhcp-option DNS 192.168.1.1"
push "redirect-gateway"

edit: I found the following commands to change DNS, now I need a script called from openvpn. Anyone got one, or am I writing from scratch?

setprop net.dns1 192.168.1.1
setprop net.dns2 8.8.8.8

Ideas?

[HTC Inspire 4G] d9vabder:
I'm having problems with my D-Link wireless router. Devices can connect to the secured WPA/WPA2 connection with the password, but it doesnt really do anything except for show its connected. I've tried resetting my router completely. I think it has something to do with my Verizon router it goes through. i.e. When I type in 192.168.0.1 or w/e the default is for my router, it used to bring up access to my Verizon router instead of the D-link. I noticed the cables going to the Verizon router where not plugged in correct, (slots 2,3,4 instead of slots 1,2,3) and that fixed the 192.168.0.1 problem, by bringing back the d-link page. However, still not able to recieve internet on connected devices. (I think its somehow connecting to the Verizon router instead of the dual band D-link) --** I use the 2 ghz , not the 5

[HTC Inspire 4G] d9vabder:
Fixed the problem. My slink router was conflicting with my Verizon router. I checked to see what my dlinks gateway/DNS IP was using some commands in the run/cmd and had to manually asign IP addresses.

The gateway and DNS should be the same.

Subnet 255.255.255.0

IP address is the phone's IP used to connect
[HTC Inspire 4G] born_fisherman:
If anyone is having problems obtaining an IP after extended periods of not being connected to your wireless router, try setting ur router to channel 11 and setting security to WEP. After I did this, I haven't had a problem reconnecting whatsoever.

Im a noob to this. I've been searching the forums and can't find the what I'm looking for. :confused: i have a cdma hero and I've rooted using Z4. my question is it possible to flash roms and kernals using Z4. if possible i would like to have Live wallpapers on my phone and looking into Froyo or Gingerbread that are the most stable for daily use, and the steps in doing so. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks:)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
I'll tell you right now, lwp's don't work very well on the hero. There are a few that do, but imho, not worth the battery drain. :) Still, it's your baby, do as you wish. You can find them in the market.

As for roms, froyo builds are a little bit more stable, as there has been more time spent tweaking them. With that said, I have no issues with cm7 #7, other than reduced camera quality. That is an easy fix by downloading a camera from the market, though, do no big deal for me. I just hope you don't want a sense build, as froyo sense is still lacking and there are no gingerbread builds.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 512heroATX:
On the CM7 #7 is it possible run LWPs? @ this point I really don't care if it does or doesn't.My main concern is bricking my phone, have u heard any one using Z4 to use custom roms and if u have what was the process in doing so with Z4. All the info i have in installing custom roms are for other methods of Root, or should i just dump Z4 and go with another Root. I really appreciate the help..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
From what I've heard, z4 works fine, just not sure if it flashes a custom recovery (necessary). Personally, I prefer to root via the learning method which would use Regaw's tutorial (in the dev forum, I would link, but I'm on my phone), it'll start you on the process to learning the things you need to know anyway. As for bricking your phone, the only way you're gonna do that is if you flash a GSM radio to your phone. Best advice I can give you is to read, read, read. When I first rooted, the DarchDroid 2.8(thanks Darch!) thread was about 400 posts and I refused to root until I read it all and I was confident that I knew what I was doing, and what to expect when it was done.

XDA is a great community, and we will all help you in your endeavor, but you will benefit the most by trying to help yourself. Good luck and have fun.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
AFAIK, z4 does not flash a recovery. You would need to get one from somewhere. Either Amon-RA, which I use, or ClockworkMod. The only way I can think of to actually brick your hero is to flash a gsm radio. As an aside, z4 does nothing other than root your device, so no, you cannot flash roms with it.

DO A NANDROID BACKUP IN YOUR RECOVERY MODE(HOLD VOLUME DOWN THEN POWER BUTTON WHILE PHONE IS OFF)

I also have a hero running cm7 no problems, if you want to do everything really easy just download ROM manager from the market. With this flash a recovery image, then go toa website with some custom roms (google android candy and you'll find a few good ones) once you've downloaded the rom of your choosing, go back into ROM manager and select "install ROM from sd card" WIPE DATA! BACKUP CURRENT ROM!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bula901:
Offical rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dimension2035:
I believe I know why this is happening to you but I may be wrong. When I installed an Offical T-mobile rom it updated my Radio. So when you installed the offical EU rom it earsed your tmobile radio and flashed the EU which results in a break phone. You should have used a custom EU or Tmobile Rom on the XDA site.

With the custom EU roms and tmobile roms, the developers removed all of the radios therefore flashing is safe.

The only option available to you is to send the phone for repair, sell it for parts or see if there is anyone in your area that can unbrick it for less cash.

I use my vibrant as my dedicated music player, preferring poweramp, however it seems to use a lot of battery. I have system monitor telling me that whilst its playing, it's using about 30-40% cpu power almost constantly.

Since I'm using voodoo sound, perhaps there is not so much need for poweramps eq or amplifier.....so wondering if there is a lightweight, low battery usage music player out there that would cause less if a drain than poweramp?

Thanks.

Hey yall,

Months of installs and recoveries had left extra folders and tmp files so I finally decided to do a master reset on my Captivate. I did a forced redo of apps and data on Titanium Backup and sent it to my drop box.

Does Titanium backup our picture files from their portion of the Internal SD card?

If so what file in the back up would it be?
